The Daemon Card (冥府の術符 Meifu no jutsufu, lit. Netherworld Talisman) is a card that is exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Imbued with the fell, nefarious energies of the netherworld, this card harnesses the Magic of non-magic users to suffocate selected enemy targets. Regardless of Speed differences arising between the user and the targeted enemy unit, the Daemon Card only allows for one attack to be performed with each use. Furthermore, the enemy unit will not be able to counterattack when the Daemon Card is used against them.

The strongest of the three arcane cards available in the game, the Daemon Card's usefulness is marred by its low Durability.

While it is possible to outfit members of the Heron clan (Reyson, Leanne and Rafiel) with the Daemon Card in order to provide an alternative levelling option aside from their Galdr, this is not recommended due to their low Magic cap (15), a fact that results in them meting out lackluster damage. The Daemon Card can, conversely, be effectively used by units such as Ena, on account of her abnormally high Magic that is derived from her White Dragon ancestry.
